[INTRO and POST-CHORUS]
The intro is G but then he hammers on (and pulls off) on the D and B strings
(essentially making a C with G bass):
e|--3--3----|
B|--0--h1---|
G|--0--0----|
D|--0--h2---|
A|--x--x----|
E|--3--3----|
So strum a G, then hammer on, strum a few more, then pull off on a strum. Repeat four
times. Listen to the song for exact timing.
[VERSE]
GG/F#EmEm*
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
GG/F#Em
Heralding a summer's early sway
Em* CC/BAm7 [Am7C/B]
And all the bulbs all coming in ... to begin
CC/BAm7C/GD9/F#
The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again
GG/F#EmEm*
Pegging clothing on the line
GG/F#Em
Training Jasmine how to vine
Em* CC/BAm7 [Am7C/B]
Up the arbour to your door ... and more
CC/BAm7C/GD9/F#
You're standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before
[CHORUS]

Once upon it, yellow bonnets

GG/F#EmEm*
A barony of ivy in the trees

And all the branches burst to bloom ... in the boom
CC/BAm7C/GD9/F#
Heaven sent this cardinal marooon to decorate our living room
